Default how do I make a skinny paste item fill the width if my page

What you probably have are Paragraph Marks or Manual Line Breaks that are
separating your text into short "lines".
See the following article about these Non-printing characters and how you
can solve your problem.

I continue to use the backspace and space keys because the source I have been
copying from is done with 2 coloums with lines only 5-12 words long. The
paste comes out in the right order, but each line is exactly the same as the
source.(I know, hence the word copy)could someone patient and smart please
tell me how to extend these measly lines to fill the the page on my microsoft
office word 2007 document! back spacing is taking way to long with every line
needing it. i think ive pressed backspace-space-left mouse click at least 10
000 times!!!!!I need a one step solution.
